JAY-Z certainly captured the attention of Twitter Friday with the release of his 10-track album "4:44," even if it's only available exclusively on Tidal.
The rapper's first record in four years is loaded with confessions, disses and revelations about personal issues, including his mother's sexuality and cheating on his wife Beyoncé. According to JAY-Z, the album's name is inspired by waking up at 4:44 a.m. one morning to write the title track, which is among the most revealing songs on the record.
The rapper's name shot to the top of Twitter's trends, with even major A-list influencers including Kevin Hart and DJ Khaled tweeting about it.
